It's different for everybody, Pauly...since you're only using minis right now, you might be closer to the end of it than you realize. :hpaulywogg;1626481 wrote: Aah 5 years! maybe ill wait til then to quit al,(bad joke)thanks for details Fennel,no my mom never complained like i said i think she just drank any discomfort away,i just turned 40 in sept(ugh)but i remember all of last year being all over the place in different months,some times going through 3 boxes of woman stuff(sorry guys)these past tcoupla of months i dont even finish a box,this month i dont need one,just mini pads(super sorry to the guys!)so i guess its here,im pissed!Comment

Pauly...go to the doc. Hormones may help with moods...
plus you will feel better knowing what is going on
I stopped having periods at 37 due to chemo, but I am 53 now and swear I have mood swings and can be a downright mean bitch!! People frustrate and annoy me more than they used to.
My three boys will " represent" tomorrow. Clay is in a silvery grey suit. 54 inch JACKET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bret is in a black suit, and Grant is in black slacks and a silver blue jacket of Bret's. All have new dress shoes and belts. And....drum roll.....I got new pantyhose!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY...not
Pop's obit is in the paper and it was surreal to see his picture. I think I am processing better and don't feel so lost. Bret is struggling, but I am here and so are his boys.
My virtual buds will be there with me and my Jacksonville girlfriends swear they will dress like redneck country bumpkins and black out a tooth and say they are my cousins.
For me, laughter is the best medicine.
K9....where are you?
Off to make food for tomorrow
I love you all so muchI love my family more than alcohol.:h

I'm imagining the men putting their hands up between their eyes and the p.c. screen! Sorreeeeee! I'm just about to add to your pain!
OK... My grumpage about this is it started at flipping 42... exact same age as my mother. And at 51 I STILL get symptoms although my, umm, periods, have ceased and desisted. But the hot flashes, night sweats, forgetfulness and damn mood swings continue on unabated. I used to be sharp as a tack and now I need lists for EVERYTHING. It was like someone flipped a switch when I turned 42.
And I reckon the menopause is what got me in the predicament with AL. I went slightly bonkers with it for a few years... seriously... like a borderline personality disorder type bonkers. My mother was the same way... she describes hers as "she felt like a corkscrew, so twisted up inside".
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree on this score methinks.
I reckoned it would be well over by now and I'd be patting myself on the back for getting out the other end early but it would appear I'm not so lucky. I've been putting it off as I don't like mainstream meds, but I don't think it will be much longer till I get a hormone panel done and start on bioidentical hormones. I take DHEA but it's not cutting the mustard.
An interesting snippet is Cheryl's mum. She is 80 and guess what... she STILL gets night sweats. However, she is amazing for an 80 year old, really youthful, and I'm wondering is it possible that the symptoms dragging on kept her younger? Probably not. Wishful thinking on my part!
OK lurking menfolk... you can look now!

Took me a while to write mine as I had to take out certain descriptive words on account of not wanting to make the guys feel queasy!

Will be thinking of you tomorrow mama...(())
I crossed over at 50 had night sweats for years and years but now I am not so sure it was hormones as much as it was the darn wine...but that is behind me now for the most part so I am so glad of that!!
Went to get my hair cut a little and the red put back where it belongs.....darn gray hair creeping out when I sleep.....Comment

I'm here! I'm here! Finally.... My internet wasn't working all morning. I started having MWO withdrawals!
Mama - I will definitely be thinking of you tomorrow. I'm sure your 3 fellas will be quite handsome and make Pops proud! How is Nana holding up?
Sorry I can't chime in on the Menopause discussion. Maybe I will never ever have it if I just keep this implant in my arm
I will say that I DO have nightsweats, but that may have something to do with my down comforter, flannel pajamas and heater...ya think? I hate cold, what can I say.
Ok time to catch up around here since I was away all morning.
Love you peeps!:heart:I love my daughter more than alcohol:heart:
